"We Will See You... Tomorrow!"
Jack Buck did play-by-play for CBS during the 1991 World Series, one the tightest contested Series of my lifetime. The Twins and Braves seemed to end every game on the last at bat in those seven games, the seventh going scoreless for 10 innings.
In game six, when it looked like the Braves were going to win it all, the Twins came back and won on a Kirby Puckett homer to centerfield in extra innings.
It was amazing.
Buck called that game, his famous words as the ball soared over the Metrodome's centerfield baggie, "we will see you... tomorrow!!"
I miss Jack Buck's voice.
Kirby Pucket passed away yesterday.

Holy disrespect for the dead, Altman. Puckett was charged with sexual assault a few years back, allegedly groping a woman in a restaurant bathroom. He was cleared of all charges. He was also rumored to have had many extramarital affairs, which I believe ran right next to the story "Dog Bites Man". As far as baseball players go, he was a good kid, always cheerful, very sportsmanlike. He did a lot for Minnesota and for the sport. He'll be missed.

Keith Olbermann did a thoughtful and respectful piece on Kirby Puckett tonight; it's comforting, to baseball lovers like me, at least, that someone gave him a proper farewell.
Sex and drugs are for rock... just play ball, already.
Peace Out, Kirby. I was a fan, and damn, I'll never forget that Series.
